Bailey is an adorable puppy who gets into some mischief on a school field trip with humans. He's not a bad dog, just a curious puppy. Nice illustrations and lots to look at.

Cute story, perfect to fit into New York week for story time. Bailey is a cute dog that kids will enjoy, and I liked the comic-style hybrid with the speech bubbles.

Bailey the dog is back again. This time he's not just getting ready for school: he's going on a field trip to the natural history museum. Being a dog doesn't make it easy to walk into a room full of bones, but Bailey does his best to follow the rules and learn along with the children of his class.

I want to give this one a fair review, but my first impression was a bit tainted by the fact that the copy I picked up had obviously been through a lot and was damaged to the point of being almost illegible at times. That has nothing to do with the overall quality of the storytelling, but as I'm writing this, I'm trying to remember anything unique or inspiring about this book, and all I'm coming up with is a few humorous moments--two specifically. I think in the right context, this could be a fun read. It would be a fun introduction to field trips, for example, and what not to do, but I was hoping for something more memorable.
